CeO Center for Educational Opportunity
The Center
for Educational Opportunity (CeO) is
a federally- and state-funded center that provides academic and ancillary
support to students from low-income families,
The CeO center houses the federally-funded program, TRIO Student Support
Services.
CeO is a campus-wide program
open to students from various disciplines. We work with over 600 undergraduate
students. Our mission is to provide a supportive learning community which
fosters an equal opportunity for success in higher education.
Our services are available to our students from freshman year until graduation.
Students are encouraged to start working with us as soon as they apply for
admissions to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, we always welcome
the opportunity to work with continuing UW students throughout the academic
year.
